Knee friendly lower body exercises.
I have bad knees. They crack, creak and are easily upset resulting in pain. My physiotheraphist said it was because I am hyperflexible in my knees. I carry most of my weight below the waist in my thighs and butt. I know squatting and lunges are the best thing for toning this area up but my knees hate it. Been doing it…

Help needed to get back on the wagon!
I'm struggling so bad to get back on the wagon!! I was on a roll, happily losing weight, eating roughly 1400 calories a day. I was eating every two - three hours, was never hungry and drinking gallons of water. I lost over 40lb in total losing roughly 2lb a week. I stopped losing weight after a friend asked me to be a…

I want my Graze Box NOW!!
I finally did it. After seeing the advert on here every time I log on, I went on to the Graze site and had a look. I liked what I saw and have ordered a box. I picked Friday deliveries so I have to wait until the 19th August. It feels like Christmas. Does anyone already have them and if so what are they like?? If anyone is…

Bridesmaid dress dilemma!
Yesterday I was measured for my Bridesmaid dress which I will wear May 2012. We looked at dresses 4 weeks ago and I tried on a uk size 16. I tried the same dress on yesterday and its too loose (nsv). My measurements were taken (37, 29, 42) and the size 14 will fit perfect (38, 30, 42) so that is the dress the Bride has…

Back pain?

It feels so unstable now. Has anyone else experienced this?? Also anyone have any exercises that are suitable for strengthening the…

I was working out this morning how much I had actually lost so far. My ticker was only showing the 16lb I had lost while using this site (as…

Walking on air.
I've been walking to work and back since the beginning of February. Thats 40 mins in the morning and 40 mins home in the evening. When I started I would wake up in the morning, think about walking, groan and have to force myself out the door. I felt more like I was stomping then walking. After a fortnight it didn't feel…
